i bleed each month to help make humankind a possibility. my womb is home to the divine. a source of life for our species. whether i choose to create or not. but very few times it is seen that way. in older civilizations this blood was considered holy. in some it still is. but a majority of people. societies. and communities shun this natural process. some are more comfortable with the pornification of women. the sexualization of women. the violence and degradation of women than this. they cannot be bothered to express their disgust about all that. but will be angered and bothered by this. we menstruate and they see it as dirty. attention seeking. sick. a burden. as if this process is less natural than breathing. as if it is not a bridge between this universe and the last. as if this process is not love. labour. life. selfless and strikingly beautiful.

For me winter is a time for solace and death. Finding time for reading, having the excuse to be inside, not feeling bad about wasting a sunny day. Winter is when the snow comes and I feel at one with the quiet of a winter evening. When I’m riding or working on the mountain at night and I venture...

This is probably my most favorite-st book in the whole wide, whole wide of the widening wideness with no edge. I’m trying to figure out how to use Amazon Affiliate links so if you wish to buy this book, only click through this link if you want to support me or just don’t mind supporting me. It don’t cost no more and anything you buy on amazon I’ll get a cut. I don’t want to dupe nobody. This book is pretty rad because of the way it is written. The book is not only from the perspective of all of the characters as they experience the events that happen, but the future selves of characters remembering an experience will interject their reflections into the text (I don’t understand why I felt the need to describe it so in depth. It only made it more confusing.) , so that the reader gets to see how each character is experiencing a situation at the same time as seeing how they feel about the situation when remembering it and ruminating on it. It’s almost like time is organized so that experiences happen at the same time as memories of those experiences. (Fuck, I lost everybody when I tried to describe it by showing what I meant.) If that makes any sense the way I’ve described it. The book is about a logging town on the Oregon coast. The union loggers are on strike for higher wages. Meanwhile, the Stampers run a family logging business and make a deal with the company, who’s workers are on strike, to supply the company with wood, effectively undermining the strike. The whole town is on the cusp of finding out about the deal and the Stampers need all the family help they can to get the order met. They call for Leland Stamper the half/brother of Hank, they have a longstanding feud and Leland comes back for revenge. The book reads almost like a greek tragedy, set in the wet winters of the Oregon coast. It a mind-fuck and it’s pretty difficult to read at first due to all the family members and voices interchanging, but once you catch on it is one of the most beautiful and rewarding reads. So, check it out. Whether it’s through my link or on your own.
